Fatally Burned by vitriol.

CINCINNATI March 2l.-John Rapp, an en-
ploye of the Grasseli chemical works, was
nearly burned to death yerterday. A carboy
filled with vitriol slipped from his hand and fell
into vat from which the vitriol splashed over
his body. The clothing was so burned that it
fell from his body in pieces. His face was
burned to the bone, and he was utterly blind as
he rose TO his feet His entire chest was burned
to the ribs His agony was SO great that he
begged those who came to help him to kill him
at once. He will die.

What Hurried Lawton.s Departnre.

NEW YORK, March 21.-The World will say to-
morrow that the flight of Walter E. Lawton, the
guano man, was probably preciptated by the
discovery of the fact that after having given
mortgages, in 1884, aggregatng $500, 900, on
some brick-clay land at Little Ferry
N. j., which mortgages remained unrecorded
because of the confidence in him. he sold the
land on March 10 last. to the New Jersey &
New York Brick Company. in return for which
he got $50 OF the company's $1,000 bonds and
81, GOO 600 of stock, and to secure the bonds the
land mortgaged to the full amount again
and Mortgage recorded.

A War Story.

When Johnson's army was about
twelve miles from Vicksburg orders
were issued that death would be the
portion Of any man who fired gun,
chopped with an AK, or made any noise
whatever. The confederates were in
the rear of Grant. and they were in
terested in keeping quiet about it.
One day some of the soldiers noticed
that some wild bees had selected an old
dead tree as the depository for their
honey. Away up in the top the little
workers could be seen storing their
sweets. The soldiers looked upon them
with longing eyes. How to get the
honey was problem. A single blow
with an AK would be punished with
death. One day countryman came
along and drew rein near the bee tree.
He went into camp there and when
he started to build his fire one Of the
soldiers said:
my friend, why don't you build
your fire up against that dead treep''
Would anybody keerp" he asked.
'sOf course not"
The result was the countryman built
his fire against the dead tree and the
tree caught fire. When the country
man departed next day he left the tree
ablaze. 1t burned slowly that day and
gradually the bees were smoked out.
With anxious and impatient eyes the
Sc, iiers watched the fire. About the
middle If the third day the old tree
came down Wiz !. crash that could be
heard for mile. The c,ldiers lit up
on the honey like dogs upon lame
coon. When the excited officers reach /,
ed the scene they were informed that
a countryman had fired the tree. By
that time, however, the countryman
was fifty miles away.-Atlanta Consti-

A Chinook Wind.

A Bostonian, who has just returned
from flying trip to Portland, Oregon,
relates how he left Chicago with the
mercury at zero, and went on to find it
constantly sinking, until with two loco
motives it was difficult to get up steam
enough to drag the train; and with a
roaring fire in the cars it was still nee
essary to keep mutlled in furs to be
anything nearly comfortable. He says
that in crossing snowy plains through
Dakota, when everybody was bundled
up to the eyes, a man accustomed to
the country suddenly threw back his
heavy ulster collar, exclaiming:
There, we've struck Chinook wind.
Now we are all right. I'm going out
on the platform.
Those not accustomed to the idiosyn-
crasies of the American climate in that
especial locality regarded the man as
beside himself, but when the platform
was visited by the more daring ones it
was discovered that the temperature
was that of a mild spring day. The
snow everywhere was visibly melting
with much rapidity, and the mysterious
wind seemed to have blown in new
season. The name of this warm breeze
is the same as that of a tribe of Indians
lof British Columbia, who perhaps man.
|ufacture it, and it is said to be so warm
that it destroys three or four feet of
snow in single night. The gentleman
who relates this thermic voyage closes
by relating how, when he arrived in
Portland. pansies We're blooming in the
garden beds, and mildness had posses
sion of the land; an ending which is es-
pecially effective in these frozen days.
